Supposed White Bulborb
There are rumors about that a White Bulborb of sorts is an unused enemy in Pikmin 3. This is most likely false, and I'll explain why. In the game files, almost all enemies have their own file, except for really similar enemies, like Female Sheargrubs and Swarming Sheargrubs, and Red Bulborbs and Orange Bulborbs. In the "Bulborb" file, there are two main textures: spots (circle*.gtx
) and body (face*.gtx
). Here's a list of all textures:
circle.0.gtx
is the Red Bulborb's spot.circle.1.gtx
is the Orange Bulborb's spot.circle_nrm.gtx
is the normal map for either enemy's spots.circle_scm.gtx
is currently unknown, but speculated by the gang to be a texture used when you snap a picture with the KopPad with flash on.face.0.gtx
is the Red Bulborb's body, eyes, etc.face.1.gtx
is the same, but for the Orange Bulborb.face_nrm.gtx
is the normal map for the Red Bulborb (as distinguished by the eyes).face_nrm02.gtx
is the same, but for the Orange Bulborb.face_scm.0.gtx
is again, unknown; it might be likecircle_scm.gtx
but for the Red Bulborb's body.face_scm.1.gtx
is the same, but for the Orange Bulborb.
This supposed White Bulborb uses face_scm.1.gtx
for the body and circle_scm.gtx
. Now, if this were a new Bulborb, shouldn't it follow the same logical texture style as the used Bulborbs? Plus a number like "2"? Either way, nobody's really sure of what those "scm" textures are, but to assume that it's a new type of Bulborb is pretty far-fetched. Even if it is, we can't say for sure for now, so we're better off not adding speculation. — {EspyoT} 11:54, 11 August 2015 (EDT)
